Beyonce, Guns N' Roses, Boyz II Men, Ed Sheeran among concerts attended by Ken Sim.
He keeps a record player in his office, where his collection of albums includes Queen, The Police, John Cougar, Public Enemy, David Bowie, AC/DC and Judas Priest.And, of course, he’s a big Rolling Stones fan, having produced a special video and event on the city hall campus the day he heard the legendary band announced it would make a stop July 5 at BC Place Stadium.
'Disposed of gift' The forms for both concerts show a pattern of accepting tickets and disposing of others. For example, Sim said in one entry that he “disposed of gift” for $475 tickets to Guns N’ Roses, but in a separate form said he kept a $95 ticket to attend the concert. “The mayor adhered to all appropriate procedures by disclosing the tickets and recording their disposition.”
The Vancouver Charter and Code of Conduct state that a council member may only accept a gift or personal benefit received as an incident of protocol or social obligations that normally accompany the responsibilities of elected office. PavCo said that as part of its normal course of business, it receives tickets for "stakeholder outreach purposes" by event promoters who hold events at the Crown corporation's venues.
She clarified that although the tickets to the mayor were offered by Frost, they are, in fact, extended on behalf of the PNE and consider the offering “a valuable opportunity to showcase the PNE Fair to thought leaders in our city.”
